Studied effects
- TH1 immune activation via Toll-like receptor upregulation
- hepatitis B and C treatment adjuvant — approved in 35+ countries
- dendritic cell maturation and antigen-specific T-cell potentiation
- COVID-19 immune support research (2020–2021 Chinese clinical data)
Mechanism
Tα1 modulates both innate and adaptive immune responses by stimulating the differentiation and maturation of T-cells, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells. It upregulates MHC class I and II expression, enhancing antigen presentation. It also promotes the production of key cytokines including interferon-γ and interleukin-2, which are central to immune surveillance.
